I hope that you are right in saying that I just have an unhealthy obsession. What if I try to pursue a PhD? Will the admission board take these mistakes seriously, i.e. will they reject me? I'm an MD trying to do my PhD– BrajkovicMCommented May 13 at 20:36

@BrajkovicM: The same applies: Most probably, the admission board won’t even notice. There is a tiny chance that this will tip the scales against you, but that applies to a lot of things, and almost anything else you invest your time in has a higher chance of tipping the scales for you.– Wrzlprmft ♦Commented May 14 at 5:00

I would like to do a PhD in basic pharmacology. I did get a certificate for doing experiments on lab animals and I have 10 Q1 papers of original research and 3 Q1 review papers, out of which I am a first author on two. What else could I do?– BrajkovicMCommented May 14 at 5:24

@BrajkovicM: I am no expert on that field, so I can’t say what’s important and how valuable publications are. But I am certain that there are useful things to do, e.g., doing your current job thoroughly, writing your applications, polishing your application, learn useful skills (data analysis, programming, …), informing yourself about PhD opportunities, … When you run out of things to do, you should have long applied for your PhD.– Wrzlprmft ♦Commented May 14 at 5:48

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
Use tags that describe what your question is about, not what it merely relates to. For example almost every question on this site is eventually related to research, but only questions about performing research should be tagged research.
Use tags describing circumstances only if those circumstances are essential to your question. For example, if you have a question about citations that came up during writing a thesis but might as well have arisen during writing a paper, do not tag it with thesis.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. graduate-admissions), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
